Sounds like a great set-up you are putting together, you should be pleased with the Adams.

+1 on mic pre's especially to API.

Also +1 on room treatment, look at diffusers and bass traps rather than damping the room down to much. You don't have to buy stupidly expensive diffusers which have been scientifically calculated for an even frequency response. Book cases and shelves and other 3d irregularities attached to the wall do just about the same job - they might even sound better than the theoretical 'best' ones.

A great sounding moderately live room is very versatile, especially if you can knock up a few sound absorbing baffles to create dead spaces when you want them. SE and a few others do various sound absorbers that clip behind the mic, these can help control things too.
